Great Company to work for.

Home mortgage consultant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive pay, work life balance (depending on where you work). Great name for relationship building. Have great programs, and flexible guidelines for loans. Great underwriters, looking to approve loans if possible. They give you enough freedom to develop your book of business your own way and establish your referral channels. You have access to assigned branches book of business and management will even consider assisting in newspaper/internet ads if you make a good case. In other words they are thinking outside the box, and allow you to do business how you best see it fit, not only through their established channels.

Cons

Draw + commission compensation can be challenging, but also very rewarding.

Treats Employees Good! Bank Teller/Personal Banker

Business Outlook

Pros

depends which branch you land in can really make or break your sales goals. Busier branches get way more sales, can reach sales easier and faster, and are rewarded more often because of the constant meeting or exceeding of sales goals. If you start as a Teller, you could work your way to personal banker if you exceed your sales goals and customer service and get an OK from your manager.

Cons

Micromanaged, if someone comes in and wants a credit card, and you direct them to a banker to complete the application, it's not qualified to count as a "Sale" since the customer walked in and wanted it, instead of you offering and trying to "close the sale"
